A WOMAN put in a labor camp after demanding justice for her daughter, who had been raped, received an apology at a court hearing in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan Province, yesterday.
But the court heard she had rejected an out of court settlement because of a condition that it be kept secret.
Yongzhou City's re-education through labor commission was said to have offered to pay compensation out of "human care" considerations rather than as an admission of guilt, the Legal Evening News reported.
Tang Hui, 40, who petitioned for harsher punishments for those found guilty of raping her daughter and forcing her into prostitution, was demanding a judgment in April by Yongzhou's Intermediate People's Court be overturned.
It had denied her request for an apology and compensation of 2,463 yuan (US$401) for the time she spent in the camp.
The Hunan Provincial People's High Court heard yesterday that though the commission rejected Tang's demands in public, it had tried to settle the case out of the court by offering Tang the compensation she sought and an additional 100,000 yuan. However, Tang had been asked to keep the settlement confidential, the newspaper reported.
No verdict was announced yesterday.
